BIOS password protection
I want to use my laptop however, I am experiencing an issue, since the frameware last week (which kept failing before completing). my laptop would work slowly, eventually I got a blue screen shutdown, then the next time i tried to switch it on it didn’t work - i was met with the security management screen with the password protection window.
I entered the password, however, it takes me to the BIOS setup screen, I’ve selected “reset default” however this didn’t help and im still experiencing the same issue. please help.

I have not set a code, no one has.
is that the reason why this is happening?

If there was a password on the drive and you don't know what it is, that's one issue.
If there was no password on the drive, and one suddenly appeared, either someone set it or the drive has failed.

It can happen when a drive fails (or alternately, when a system board fails).
